In a day and age where most movies are cookie cutter and extremely generic on most levels or remakes that are worse than the original, Inception truly is truly a breath of fresh air from all the mindless drivel Hollywood's been pushing out lately. The scenes were amazingly beautiful, the characters believable and likable, and the storyline was in a sense leaving me wondering how the director thought of it. The story is slightly harder to grasp, but the concept of dreams and the inception of them is one that most would never even begin to comprehend. It's overall an interesting theory that there is no reality, but what we see in every day life is only a projection, an illusion of what we believe is real, a plausible theory for the deep thinker/philosopher. The only gripe I had with the movie: in the 3rd level into the dream (the large snowy fortress) did there really have to be so much fighting with the guards? After a 20-30 minutes, all the fighting just seemed uninteresting, boring and a little drawn out. The director could've easily taken a lot the fighting out and still would have had equally as much drama. Other than that, the movie is almost perfect and one of the best films I've seen in 2010. Oh, and just like Shutter Island (another big hit), the ending will keep you guessing!
